coolant header tank move.

[jacksdad]

As I'm not refitting the fairing lowers, I need to sort out the coolant header/expansion tank.
Can I just use an off the shelf catch tank, and run the hose from the filler cap overflow straight into it? I've looked at a polished alloy tank with a hose connector in the bottom, and the 2 more on the side, near the top, one just slightly lower than the other: I assume I'd need to blank off one, but 1/ would it even work and 2/ which outlets would I use?
Is the standard tank pressurised? its a bit odd as the outlet is much lower than the overflow from the rad, why doesn't the coolant just pour out?

both of mine have an over flow tank on the RH frame rail behind the side-cover. feed in from the bottom, vent out the top with a line. not pressurized.

it wont leak out because the radiator cap is a relief valve.. and the highest point in the system. 

heres the tank on the 99. its actually a clippard accumulator tank, but i had it laying around.

Thats great news, thanks: I really don't want to keep the stupid plastic tank underneath the exhaust headers, even if I replae the fairing lowers. When I bought the bike the tank had been melted right through by a badly fitted exhaust, so had no coolant in it!

Another option that's been used on C10's is an overflow tank from a Kawasaki EX250 attached on the right side of the battery box under the ride side cover.

I believe I've seen someone mount the stock tank behind the battery under the seat ?

I'm now back to the standard set up!
Doesn't look toooo bad....would look a damn sight better if the tank was hidden away though
